Army ROTC
Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) helps college students develop the confidence and self-motivation necessary to succeed beyond the classroom—all while preparing them to serve as an Officer in the U.S. Army.
ROTC is an elective course that provides a combination of academics and important hands-on training. You will experience physical and mental challenges geared to help you succeed in college and beyond. You will learn teamwork and have assigned responsibilities like teaching younger cadets the same skills you have acquired. In addition to our on-campus training, we offer instruction in adventure training like rappelling and land navigation.
Enjoy the Benefits
- Freshman and sophomore ROTC students enroll with no obligation
- Uniforms provided at no cost
- Up to 4-year competitive scholarships
- Cadets receive a monthly stipend
For its many benefits, Army ROTC requires only a few hours a week. ROTC does not interfere with your required college curriculum or social life. In fact, you will find ROTC a great place to form lasting friendships.

Why Join Army ROTC?
There are many reasons to explore the ROTC program at North Greenville (partnered with Furman University, the host program). Some students join to fulfill the personal goal of following in the footsteps of a family member. Some join for the professional opportunities they have upon graduation. Others are drawn to the ROTC program out of a sense of patriotism and a desire to serve their country.
Those interested in joining ROTC should be:
- Dedicated to the program and their country
- Driven to succeed no matter what obstacles they face
- Disciplined enough to reach their goals
ROTC offers both prospective and current college students many benefits, including:
- An opportunity to develop technical and leadership skills

It is important to remember that ROTC scholarships provide these benefits in exchange for service in either the Army’s active duty, National Guard, or Reserve Component as an Army Officer after you complete your college degree.
